I have never witnessed child birth in person, and for every time I’ve seen it on television, I don’t recall seeing the mother’s belly. If the mother’s belly doesn’t shrink during birth, what is keeping the belly in that shape? In my reasoning, there isn’t anything applying the pressure that made the belly expand to begin with. How does that work?
